Human Rights & the Four Freedoms

In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms:

1. The first is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the world.

2. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way - everywhere in the world.

3. The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.

4. The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world.
